After two years in England, renowned football director Monchi has left his position at Aston Villa. While he will remain a consultant for Villa’s holding company, his main focus is now shifting to a personal project back in Spain. This move has sparked conversations about his next steps, especially concerning a potential return to his former club, Sevilla.
Monchi is taking a step back from the high-pressure environment of the Premier League to concentrate on building something from the ground up. His approach emphasizes patience and sustainable growth over quick, risky success. While he remains open to future opportunities, his immediate priority is clear: nurturing his local club and ensuring its long-term stability.
🏡 A New Chapter at San Fernando
Monchi is now dedicating his efforts to his local club, San Fernando, where he serves as president. He explained his philosophy, stating, “I don’t believe in projects that are built like skyscrapers. We have to build the foundation.” He stressed the importance of steady progress, adding, “The goal is to take it step by step, calmly, so that the team can grow in a solid and sustainable way. This baby has to learn to walk; we don’t want it to run.”
🤔 Addressing the Sevilla Rumors
When asked about rumors linking him to a return to Sevilla, Monchi was respectful and careful with his words. He chose not to fuel the speculation, simply saying, “Right now, Sevilla is in good hands. Any statement would be unfair to the people there.” His response shows his respect for the club’s current leadership while keeping his options open for the future.
🤝 A Possible Future with Friends
Monchi also commented on a potential takeover of Sevilla led by his close associates, Fede Quintero and Antonio Lappí, whom he described as his “brother” and a “super successful businessman.” He confirmed his trust in their abilities, saying, “They have the enthusiasm, the ability, the passion, and above all, I believe they have credibility.” While he is willing to listen to their proposal, he set one clear condition: any new role must be compatible with his commitments at San Fernando.
